Chef Mayra-the most amazing vegan chef in Vegas treated a lucky group of people to a private dinner through last year’s SWAC event. If you’ve never had the opportunity to meet her, you are missing out! The words that come to mind when thinking of her are; Woo Woo, feisty, passionate, talented, fiery, flavorful, compassionate and full of positive energy and fun. Chef Mayra is all about vibration- raising it through food and maintaining it through the enjoyment of good, healthy fruits and vegatables. Many meat lovers never even realize that they are eating vegan because her food rivals some of the best meat friendly meals. Here is what she had to say about her food and style of cooking:

“I did not start off as a vegan chef. Once I began to do research about food, where it comes from, and how it is processed, I switched over to only preparing vegan meals. I give people information on the preservatives in food so they know what they are consuming. Veganism isn’t just about food–It is all about animal cruelty and humanity. When I am cooking, doing what I do, I think about that while putting it all together. I believe in just respecting and loving one another.”

“Thank about how your chef is when they are preparing your meal. What they feel and how they are acting is the energy that goes into your food.”

To add to the love of community, local farms had a hand in donating food for this dinner; Angel’s Produce Farm, Benzler Farms, Bloomin’ Desert Herb Farm, Don Burkett Farms, G&S Farms, and Herbs by Diane.
